Adil Shah sent his army to stop the revolt, but Ibrahim defeated Adil's army and marched towards Delhi. After capturing Delhi, he became Sultan Ibrahim Shah Suri in January 1555. But in the next month (February 1555), Sikandar Shah Suri defeated him at Farah, 32 km from Agra even though Ibrahim's army had more men then him. Sikandar took over both Delhi and Agra.[1]
